First time at Nationals Park!


Ever since the Nationals came to DC, my family and I have been Nationals fans. We've watched their games on TV, followed their progress during the season, and visited good ol' RFK stadium several times each year! They finally finished the new DC baseball stadium, Nationals Park, in time to begin the 2008 season there.

Moving to St. Louis, our family had to make a difficult decision about our "loyalties": do we continue as Nationals fans while at Seminary or "root, root, root for the hometeam" by following the St. Louis Cardinals for the next four years. Recognizing that our seminary experience is probably going to include a move to another location for a year during vicarage, and our call to a congregation after graduation will lead us to yet another.
As much as we've enjoyed following the Nationals while we've been here in DC, we've decided that were going to take the approach of "root, root, rooting for the home team" - whoever that home team might be. For the next four years, that's going to be the Cardinals.

Despite that decision, we have been eager to take a visit to Nationals Park, and we finally made the trip today. I've attached a handful of pictures from our visit.
